Hey, i am in a simlar position to what you were and am only now starting to pick up a few bits and pieces, i think the most obvious thing with editing is that everyone has there own opinion on what is and isnt good, i would say just try a few things and see how it goes. If in doubt post them on here and i am sure one of the more experianced guys will help you out with some advice. Happy Shooting for 2014.

I've just joined the forum and thought it would be rude to post a question straight away before saying hello here.
I knew nothing whatsoever about photography two years ago, before getting a k-r whereas now.......er, well, anyway, I may not know any more but have just treated myself to a K5ii so we will see how I go with that. Seriously, despite being probably the least technically minded person on the planet, I've forced myself to a point where I understand at least the basics of the in camera controls. Now I need to work out some of that mysterious post processing side of things. The main thing that I've learnt so far is that no matter how pleased I may be with a photo, there is always a nagging voice in my mind saying 'it could have been even better'!
